Sharp announced a new line of iPod speaker systems, the iElegance Music Systems. The new system consists of two models DK-A1 and DK-A10.Both the models are available in two colors: white and black. The i-Elegance music system for iPod feature full-range bass reflex speakers with built-in side-firing subwoofers that illuminate and produce low-end frequencies that ensure a deep bass sound. The i-Elegance also feature an electronic equalizer that customizes the sound based on the music genre and has a six-step mode to accurately adjust the sound for any type of music. Model DK-A10CD add a front-loading CD slot that plays standard CDs in addition to CD-R/RW with MP3 and WMA files. These 14-watt systems have a 6.5mm full range ×2 and 10cm woofer ×2 with 2W×2ch and 5W×2ch (sub woofer) output. For optimum sound quality, the units offer Esound, a digital signal processing technology that improves the quality of compressed digital music.
This new handheld video-player device is only 100mm in length, 13mm in thickness - or should we say ‘thinness’, and weighs under 100g. Yet despite its portable size it packs in an impressive list of features.
The MP4 Player can play hours of video on its large full color 2.4-inch screen, as well as MP3 and WMA music. What really sets it apart is the digital camera, built into the back of the chrome metal chassis, enabling the user to take high quality videos and photos to store on the onboard memory or SD card. Another unique feature is its built-in speaker so there’s no need to use earphones to listen to songs. But if you want to use earphones, there are two jacks so you and your friend can both listen at the same time!
